"Ready to get back at it?"
"After that break, I know my men will be more than efficient too…... work faster?"
"What? I thought your men were…
That's a lot of animals."
"Evander, what's going on here?"
"The animals just showed up out of nowhere. Their are so many of them, and when they started offering to help pick up pieces and such; who were we to refuse? So…."
"You did a month's worth of work, in less than a day?"
"Never refuse a helping hand?"
"I'm just confused."
"Scarlett, what's there to be confused about? I knew Lolli had tricks up her sleeve.
Thanks for the help, Lolli. Really appreciate…..oooff.
What gives?"
"Lolli was not created to work, she was created to help."
"Isn't this helping?"
"To protect. To serve…..to keep safe. She has no training, no recollection, and no experience doing anything. So how?"
"Who matters how? Aren't you happy? That's one less month that your Mermaids will have to fall asleep with our racket."
"Rain, actually…."
*Clink...….clink...…..Tinnggg*
"That's actually two less months."
"But....but I wasn't even gone that long? I...…"
"Rain, aren't you happy?"
*Poof….*
*Poof*
*Poof*
*Poof*
*Poof*
"No. My vehicles. They are all disappearing. I mean.....yes...I am happy, but now I see. How could Lolli more than double us? She has two hands, not four; and certainly not twenty."
"Rain, I don't know how you did it, but I am grateful."
"Rosa, I…."
"I know Ruby trusted you and said many great things about you, but seeing you in person.....Icing on the cake."
"She....she has talked about you as well."
"Smart thinking on your part. You can't use any of our Magic to help with the Bridge, but no one said anything about using Lollis magic? These animals are just that. Animals. But together…..I...…you...…we..."
"Uhh…"
"Thank you. Truly."
"You're welcome.....I think?"
*Scratch...scratch*
"What? Why are you doubting your excellence? It's okay to be humble, but it's also okay to give credit where credit is due; and by Joe; you deserve all of it."
"......So now what?"
"Yiiraaaaaaaaayyyyy....num….num….num…num…num."
"Ready to wake up, Lolli? You slept pretty solid. I know you don't talk to rocks, but you coild've fooled me. You really imitated one."
"How long was I out? What about the calls? What about the Wishes? What about peoples…."
"Shh….shhh.
Everything's ok. Here, have some tea.
In fact, the Clones and I completed our first community project. Skimmed two months down to four days."
"No. No. No. No. You….you can't do that."
*Slirraapppp*
"But we did. Everyone is happy, and everyone is rejoicing. What we did was a good thing.You may not have the power of Ruby, but if I clone you just enough times, all of you together will have the power."
"No.
The first time I came out, I fully replaced everybody and did their work for them."
"I am sure they were so happy to have to you."
"They were are first.....then they got bored.....then they got lazy...…..then they got angry.....and Ruby and Elwin had to punish us for it."
"But nobody got hurt."
"Yes...yes they did."
"Who?
How?
Why?"
"Can you shut the Clones off?"
"Woo….wooo….woo. You're not going anywhere. Sit back down."
"Please?"
"I am doing you a favour here, Lolli. Can't you see? You were too weak; using Flower Power...the same Flower that everyone was fighting so hard to keep. Even you."
"I can't be everywhere at once, Frostwing. I try my hardest, but….."
"Then try no more.'
"What do you mean?"
"What if their was a world where everyone had their own Lolli....shipped directly to them? I mean, you are not a dangerous fairy; nor a tyranical Dragon like myself. Just a completely harmless…..practical....."
"I'm not a robot, Frost. I am a human."
"They don't know that."
"Shut it down."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
".....Cause they have already been shipped. Fused with Dragonblood, and ready for action."
